Me wondering when people are going to stop expecting every piece of queer media to deeply adress every nuance of the queer experience when it was actually just built to be the happy tv show etc fluff that the gays never seem to get in the media

#this was my thing with the boyfriends webtoon like im not a fan of it and the creators not a good person but why were so many people l #critizising it for not being the pinacle of gay and poly representation like its litterally mindless fluff and just because its gay people #expected a masterpeice and treating all queer media like that means youre only allowing cishet peopke to have that kind of sweet fluffy l #content and we never get any of it or just pure comic releif. just because its queer doesnt mean it needs to be deep. isnt that the whole #point of simple representation? just letting these characters and their world exist without having to acknowledge the deep and depressing #realities of being in an opressed group. people who have that critisism of boyfriends #heartstopper or q-force or just things like that are getting way too into the idea that all queer media must be perfect. as a whole that #takes away and intimidates queer creators #because it means they cant make anything with characters like them in it without diving extensively into the harsher parts of being queer #and some ppl just dont wanna do that some people wanna write fluffy series with cute gays and gay culture jokes and thats not wrong to do
